It appears that it will be trivial to add a true conversational mode to GWiz. This will let the user select a wizard in GWiz, set the parameters, and then hit execute. The wizard will then be executed and cause a machining operation to be done.
To do this, I might need some extra support in Axis (or it might already be there). I need the ability to remotely (as is done by axis-remote.py) cause an MDI command to be issued. In looking at axis-remote.py, it appears that tk supports sending commands from one application to another and that it does so by invoking a command. If one of the people with Axis power (Jepler, Cradek) could add a command: "send_mdi_command" that takes a string argument to Axis, I should be able to do the rest. The interpreter already has the ability to call subroutines from the MDI. Just set LAZY_CLOSE=1 in the [rs274ngc] section of the .ini file.
